Cast Drawing I did after MichelangeloThis is a cast drawing I drew as a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The sculpture is from the Tomb of the Medici in Florence that Michelangelo designed. I was just in Florence last year, and it was fun to see the original sculpture. It's a pencil drawing.

Figure Painting I did at the New York AcademyThis is from my grad school days at the New York Academy of Art. We were doing "indirect" painting techniques, that involved several layers of paint, with a grisaille underpainting, a "dead" palette layer, a full palette layer, and then final glazing and wet-in-wet work.
